Too often, parents are led to believe their child is seeing perfectly well because she passed a school vision screening. Or adults think they see perfectly because they pass a vision screening at the motor vehicle department. Frequently, neither of these assumptions are correct. Vision screenings are just that they screen out individuals who have serious (and usually quite obvious) vision problems. Screenings can identify apparent problems a person might have with specific ...visual tasks, such as seeing a chalkboard clearly in the classroom or recognizing road signs and other objects from behind the wheel. Only a comprehensive eye exam by an optometrist or ophthalmologist can ensure your vision is as clear and comfortable as possible and that youre free from potentially serious eye diseases that dont have obvious early symptoms, including glaucoma and even eye cancer.

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, its easy to take our eyesight for granted. But good vision isnt a guarantee. Protect your vision by making smart decisions every day. Even if your contact lenses block UV rays, you still need sunglasses. UV-blocking contacts shield only the part of your eye under the lens. UV rays still can damage your eyelids and other tissues not covered by the lens. Wearing sunglasses protects these delicate tissues and the skin around your eyes from UV damage.
